All I'd like to say is... v3 is rip. It looked good, it had a strong start, but bad decisions... ruined it.
First, pvp was ruined. No gapples. Sure that promotes candy usage, but a bunch of people who don't wanna try new things, quit. I do think that the candy was a good idea, it was not executed properly. Giving players sharpness 13 swords with fire aspect and NO GAPPLES, was a very bad idea. There isn't any candy right now that makes up for that unbalance, unless T3 candy is really that special.
Second, the economy. As always, donors will have a very strong start with their donor mines, their crate keys, their kits for pvp, they will be ahead in almost everything. This is what happens on most servers. But with how hard you made it to get etokens, it did not go well. Donors like me would get 15k etokens out of crates, leaving other people in the dust. It cost so much more to rankup than in v2, which was a good thing, except it cost WAY to much. Having it go from ~600mil for rank 1 all the way through prestige, to costing 4x that amount to go from rank 30-31, ofc donators would have a huge advantage, most of them get a mine better than rank 31 right off the bat anyway. Also another thing, we now have freeworld, but it's purchasable which makes it p2w, just like buying money.
Third, this half players fault half opblock's fault for not removing the ability to buy ingame money with irl money. Kry bought 10bil, giving him a reasonable lead over everyone, 10bil was a lot, but it was not too much. 105 bil however, was WAY to much. Why ruin the economy when you could just buy pets and titles and support the server just as much. Not saying names but most people know who I'm talking about.
Fourth, here are some things that you did actually do right. You didn't reset everybody's ranks (Thanks) you did actually get around to adding pets (thanks, but they cost money was hoping it'd be etokens) you did sorta fix arena glitches, the fly glitch is still there but ehhh, at least people can't kill you illegally now. Etokens are still not withdrawable, and won't be ruining the economy (thanks)
v3 was a huuuuge flop so far.
Oh yeah, here's the bomb I was gonna drop, quitting the server until further notice. cya later.
